About this listen
Losing people you love is hard.
Aurora De La Torre knows moving back to a place that was once home isn’t going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn’t supposed to be.
But a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord, across the driveway, just might cure it too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,450
Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack". Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.) She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 300
He was my boss, my brother’s friend, a Widow, an ex-felon, and a man I’d seen casually with a handful of women. But he was everything that gripped me, both the good and the bad. Worst case scenario if things turned awkward between us, I could go somewhere else. I’d gotten over epic heartbreak before, one more wouldn’t kill me. After moving to Austin following six months of unemployment back home, Iris Taylor knows she should be glad to have landed a job so quickly... even if the business is owned by a member of the same motorcycle club her estranged father used to belong to.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,946
Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing. With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she’s made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to. But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can’t find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he’s not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.

Of all the things that could have landed in her yard, it had to be him. For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true. Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it’s the exact opposite. Especially when he’s grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon. But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to. Even if it compromises everything you know. And totally changes your life.

Story5 out of 5 stars 281
When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to. It didn’t take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon—why she’d ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies. Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn’t known she’d existed.

If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time. How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 518
No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.

She has plans for her life, and none of them include washing extra-large underwear one more day for a man who could never find it in him to tell her good morning, congratulate her on a job well done, or wish her a happy birthday—even when she was spending it working for him.

Beautiful love story 🥰
After enduring a heart-wrenching ordeal, Aurora De La Torre finds solace in returning to the one place that has always felt like home. Little did she expect for this move to introduce her to a somewhat grumpy landlord whom she can't stop trying to befriend.
✨Thoughts✨
Delving into a Mariana Zapata novel is like receiving a warm, cozy hug that is impossible to resist. The romance in these novels gradually unfolds with each page turned, revealing layer upon layer of little details that contribute to the overall charm of the story.
The bond shared between Aurora and Tobias is undeniably heartwarming. Despite facing a life filled with hardships, it wouldn't be surprising if Aurora had become a cynic, isolating herself from the world. However, against all odds, she radiates sunshine, which makes her such an endearing character.
I want to take a minute to praise the dual narration by Callie Dalton and Gomez Pugh. They did an incredible job as usual.
Overall, if you are looking for an effortlessly beautiful love story and enjoy slow-burn romance, this is definitely a must-listen!

LOVED it ❤️
I love everything Mariana writes. Always funny and romantic. And when those romantic love bombs get dropped #swoon. I've read the book 2x. Callie and Gomez brought the characters to life just as I imagined it in my head.

Another MZ slow burn but slightly missed the mark
Another MZ slow burn. I'm a fan of her writing formula. Slow burn, strong silent male of few words with more of 'actions speak louder than words" vibe, and female with realistic struggles. I like to see the slow progression and not have the story focused around sex, dirty talk, mindless flirting, etc. This one delivered but missed slightly on the male. You don't get that same zing as you would have with Kulti or Wall of Winnipeg male character transition from broading a-hole to love. I still enjoyed the book, but not the same as some of her others. The male audio is the same from Luna and the Lie and I had a hard time getting the other character out of my head in the beginning. It grows on you as you read but very abrupt voice so I can see why some like it and some don't.

Great read .... ditch the male narrator
I enjoyed this story but the male reader is woeful. The rest of it is a solid story and a lot of fun and a different premise. I really enjot Mariana Zapata and think she's always a top pick. Callie Dalton covers a lot of sins for her counterpart.

Slow start, but loved it!
It took me a little bit to get into this story, but I did before too long. I'm not sure that I really understood the anger that both Rhodes and Aurora, him for his mother and her at her ex. I just think that neither was explained well enough for me to fully buy into them being that mad for that long. I guess I can understand her being upset based on what was shared, but it was over a year later and her hostility towards mother and son when they met with her seemed a but much, especially if she was already happily moving on with her life. I also which that we'd have never seen a resolution with Ora's mom, I felt it would have been more realistic. But I did love the feel of the story, loved the kids and side characters (though I feel like it was a missed opportunity with the musical plotline to not bring in Ghost Orchid), the setting in the Colorado mountains. And as always, I loved the narration on the audio book. I'm sad that I'm as the end of the MZ backlist, but excited to start them all over again, as her audios are one of my favorite to reread.

A MUST READ
I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK!
What a fun start to Rhodes & Aurora's story. Amos, Rhodes's teenage son, decided to rent out their garage apartment behind his dad's back. His dad had repeatedly told him, "NO" when the idea was presented before. So, Amos waited until his dad was supposed to be away for a business trip to list the apartment. Unfortunately, for Amos, that trip fell through which left him explaining to his dad why there was a woman planning on living in his garage.
In a very minute way, this book had a similar feel, in regards to the family feel to it, with the book Wait For It. Which was another Ms. Zapata book that I loved a ton.
After reading this book I'm all caught up on Ms. Zapata's books! YAY!!

Good, but long
I’m a big Mari fan, I’ve like it every single book she’s turned out - this one was no different! I did feel like this one was dragged out more. Since it was so long it lost a little of that slow burn luster her other books have. The performers where great and overall the story was good- just long.
I’d like to see a story with Aim and Jackie now!

This book made me supremely happy.
I’m not even finished with the book but I had to share just how wonderful it is. I’m already mourning when I get to the end. I was not patient waiting for the audible version. But if I’d known it was this good I’d have badgered more strenuously for its release. Get this book!! Great, unique characters. Very layered.
